    Hi all,

    Have been running Windows 10 for a while and have Kaspersky Internet Security and the license has another 390 days on it.

    For some reason, starting since around Tuesday/Wednesday when my laptop boots i get a notification saying "Security apps are switched off".
    There was an update around the time this manifested itself, timeline points to this being the cause but what are the chances??

    Anyone else experienced similar?

    So this all gets disabled/turned off every time you boot Windows? I'd try repairing the install (Control panel, programs, right click on the application and click repair). And if that doesn't work I would reinstall it altogether.

    Yeah everything is off. Yet when I look at task manager kaspersky seems to be running.

    Check Windows Defender, it may have turned itself on which can force other AV suites off.
